"Screee...!!" The Yatagarasu forced its way out through Delta's back!
"Aaaaaagh!" Delta's eyes rolled back as she fell to her knees before Nagato.
Nagato watched red liquid keep spilling from her mouth.
"Red machine oil?" After a moment's hesitation, he said, "No, blood. Even with scientifically enhanced skin, a human still has parts made of flesh and blood. If the injuries are serious enough, she still bleeds."
"Damn you...!!" Delta clutched her abdomen, wishing her eyes really could fire destructive lasers and reduce Nagato to ashes!
But even if she had that ability now, she might not have managed it... Nagato's attack had severely jarred her internal organs, leaving this body incapable of sustaining intense combat!
If she dragged this out any longer, she might really die here!
She began to regret ignoring Amado's warning earlier.
At least back then, unfavorable as the situation had been, she could still have barely managed an escape.
In her current state... that was doubtful.
The man before her knew about the drone that housed her true self. He even knew its exact location, because Nagato kept watching the direction where it hovered out of the corner of his eye.
The moment she showed any intention of escaping, the drone would probably be shot down.
Wait. This is clearly his perfect chance. Why hasn't he killed this body, or even shot down the drone? The question suddenly flashed through Delta's mind!
Could... could it be...
Nagato looked at her and said calmly, "Delta, before setting out, I was instructed not to make killing you my first choice unless absolutely necessary. Keep fighting, and you'll only suffer for nothing. Surrender."
Hahaha... so that's it!
Delta's thoughts seethed with fury.
What a humiliation!!!
